Tools and Hardware Reviews of Globe 48526 23-Watt Mini Compact Fluorescent Spiral Bulb (100-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Soft White, 4 Pack
Customer Review: No good for the environment
Summary: 2 Stars
I would rather take the extra energy use than deal with the poisonous mercury in these bulbs. Most will be thrown away and make their way to our landfills where they will leak mercury into the ground. If enough of them end up there they could leak this mercury into underground water sources. Lets come up with another alternative to conventional bulbs.Customer Review: Could be better.
Summary: 2 Stars
These could have been better. I found that they don't fit into regular light sockets (such as those on wall sconces), and they noticeably flicker a bit. I think the GE ones are much better.
I got mine shipped from Amazon, and half of them arrived broken as well.
Customer Review: Misleading name
Summary: 2 Stars
These are physically much bigger than their 60W bretheren so don't know why they're "mini compact".
"supersized monster" bulb would have been more accurate.
Works fine but sticks about an inch out of my vertical light fixture
Customer Review: Worked well, but not very long -- less than a year
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered a pack of these -- they're okay. They worked, I had no problems at all with their brightness, but they didn't even last a year, and that's with far from 24-7 usage.Customer Review: 2 out of 4
Summary: 2 Stars
I also had 2 broken blubs.
The other 2 are big, but work fine.
